On April 30, FTD Group
- Total revenues increased 42.2%, mainly because of the Interflora acquisition, which makes up the company's international segment.
- Interflora achieved revenues of $53.6 million, supported by strong sales during Valentine's Day and Mother's Day in the United Kingdom.
- Domestic consumer-segment revenues increased 6% to $80.2 million, driven by a 4.1% increase in order volume. But domestic-florist revenues declined 7% because of lower clearinghouse order volume and reduced fresh-flower sales.
- Motley Fool CAPS investors don't seem to have green thumbs about FTD, which carries a two-star rating (out of a possible five) in the investor-intelligence community. Competitor 1-800-Flowers
(NASDAQ:FLWS) is more like a weed with its lowly one-star rating. Got an opinion about these or any other stocks? Bring them to CAPS!
